Delta IV Launch - Wow
Boeing may be in trouble with the Government, but it sure
knows how to put on a show. Tonight's third Delta IV launch, the first during daylight, was waayy cool with the slooowwwwly rising rocket, the startling flashes caused by ice shedding and RS-68 nozzle ablation, and, finally, the odd sight of a rocket racing away without a smoky trail behind it. The ground tracker camera image seemed especially sharp. Was the range using a new tracker in the wake of the STS-107 problems? - Ed Kyle |

The upcoming Delta IVH ought to be interesting to watch. Bigger than a Titan 4B but without the brilliant burn of solids and the fast climb off the pad. Yeah, Shame it looks like its been delayed until 2nd Quarter 2004 according to http://www.spaceflightnow.com/tracking/index.html Iain |
